  • Page 14 Teledyne Foxy Jr 4 Using the control module Note: It is strongly recommended not to use Slope Signal Condition for fraction collection based on noisy detector signal. Start L+S End L+S - The fraction collection: starts when both start signal conditions are fulfilled simultaneously, detector signal increases above Level Start value and also the first derivative of the detector signal increases above Slope Start value.

If none of the start signal conditions is fulfilled the fraction collection does not start. stops when any of the stop signal conditions is fulfilled (whatever occurs first), detector signal decreases below Level Stop value or the first derivative of the detector signal first decreases and then increases above the negative of the Slope Stop value.
